Help with Michael 4 for Genesis 2 Male and Poser

Steel Rat

Hello all,

I'm trying to apply M4 textures to the Genesis 2 Male Character. I have Daz Studio, but don't really use it. I'm a Poser person, it's what I'm used to.

I've got Poser Pro 2014, all up to date. But I can't seem to find any real instruction on how to use the Michael 4 for Genesis 2 Male product to apply M4 textures. I've loaded a G2 male into my scene, I've gone into the Materials library and applied the "Set Michael 4 UV" material, which makes the current G2 texture go all wonky, as expected. But applying M4 textures, either via a saved full material set, or though a normal Poser pz2 texture "pose", nothing gets applied.

What step(s) am I missing?

Thanks!

Genesis 2 has a different material naming scheme than previous generations. You have to apply the M4 materials to Genesis 2 in Studio, save them to the Studio Libray as material presets, and then you would either create Poser Companion files in Studio, or load the presets directly into Poser using  D3D's DSON loader  (presuming the DSON importer is installed in Poser)s.  DSON Loader is here:
